Mortars
G490 60mm Mortar

The G490 mortar is a muzzle loading, high angle of fire weapon. Uniquely it can be fired either from the standard bipod and baseplate arrangement, or from a marine’s shoulder in a manner like a recoilless rifle. Its mission is to provide infantry companies with an effective and flexible weapon

G390 80mm Mortar

The G390 is a muzzle loading, high angle of fire weapon that offers a compromise between light and heavy mortars. It has more explosive power than the light mortars but is still able to be carried long distances by the crew. Typically, it is used in battalion-sized infantry formations as the primary indirect fire weapon.

G425 120mm Mortar

The G425 is a muzzle loading, high angle of fire weapon that can provide an infantry regiment with organic indirect fire support under all combat conditions. This type of weapon can be broken down so that it can be transported by marines on foot; however, this is never the first option. Typically, the weapon and a supply of ammunition will be transported by a light vehicle or towed in a trailer.
